i'm modding the map middle earth.Mordor has a gate, , with 2 mountains on its both sides, so the troops of mordor can attack minast tirith only passing through the gate.But this gate is not the black gate is another, narrow, i want to replace it with the original balckgate, how can i do? i think that i should resize it to adapt it ot the mountain how can i do? and how can i make it always closed or open?

how can i make it always closed or open?

you have to change the side to Civilian, or that is at least one way...

You have to delete the new black gate, find the originalone in the objects list and place them as wanted.. and then select it and there is a "scale" slider, flip that on and then adjust to your liking.

i explain better , i placed the isengard gate and i'm fine like this, but i would want to do more or less like in the film, so i would want to do like this: when minas morgul (a ai player) is destroyed i will go to attack the gate and i will face the mordor horde.How can i do to do this? so the gate must stay close but i should be able to destroy it.

also, mordor can pass through the gate! even if its closed! why?

Practically, i placed a gate to block the hordes of Mordor in the mordor territory (my plan is to do like this: i destroy Minas Morgul then i destroy the gate of Mordor and i destroy the entire mordor army) BUTTTT the mordor units continue to pass through the closed gate!

hmm... >.< unfortunatly i honsestly don't know what to say... xD

Seems like gate pathing issues ...

Best to play as allies and own the gate ..
Then check the terrain tools to make the sides of the gate unpassable and the terrain even

there are codes to set the gate open or closed if needed ...

But if any unit passes through a CLOSED gate ...its bad pathing of the terrain


-------

You can even go more indepth like setting the gate closed as Civilian owned but when
you defeat the minal morgal area .. it becomes owned by mordor and is now attackable ..With scripts

and map.ini codes should handle starting closed
..maybe even scripts can close a gate

Behavior = GateOpenAndCloseBehavior ModuleTag_GATE
		ResetTimeInMilliseconds = 10500;must be longer than animation to avoid ->pop<-
		OpenByDefault = Yes  ;;;; <<< CHANGE THIS 
		PercentOpenForPathing = 50
		SoundOpeningGateLoop = GateOpenStart
		SoundClosingGateLoop = GateCloseStart
		SoundFinishedOpeningGate = GateOpenEnd
		SoundFinishedClosingGate = GateCloseEnd
		TimeBeforePlayingOpenSound = 9500
		TimeBeforePlayingClosedSound = 9500
	End

in few words, the map is not very well done and the terrain pathing is not good yes? so i can't do nothing to solve this problem.....u know i made a script to make the closed but nothing the units continued to pass through it.

Yes you can redo the terrain around the gate ..make it flat

Then align the gate at ground level , Z=0
Then paint un-passable around the posts / edges of the gate .. with the terrain paint tool
leave only the center of the gate passable i.e a path through the gate
